Emmylou Harris - She Lyrics
(gram parsons/chris ethridge)She ...She came from the land of the cottonA land that was nearly forgottenBy everyoneAnd she ...She worked and she slaved so hardA big ol field was her backyardIn the delta sunOh, but she sure could singYes, yesShe sure could singThen he ...Looked down and he took a little pityThe whole town swore he decidedHe help her someAnd heDidnt mind if she wasnt very prettyFor deep inside his heart he knewShe was the only oneOh, but she sure could singMy, my she sure could singShe had faith and she had believinShe led all the people together in singinAnd she prayed very nightTo the lord up aboveSingin hallelujahOh, hallelujahThey ...Would walk singin songs by the riverEven when she knew for sureShe had to go awayAnd sheNever knew what her life had to give herAnd never had to worry about itFor one single dayOh, but she sure could singYes, yes she sure could sing
